Art #2 Patterns

My second design project (turning in tonight) was to take 2 items that naturally go together like sun & moon or bat & ball, etc and create a pattern using them. 

The rules:

• Simple shapes
• Recognizable form
• Solid black shapes
• Shapes must touch or overlap
• Pattern built from shapes must touch or overlap

The process:

1. Create a list of 20 items that go together
2. Sketch (thumbnails) a few of my favorite ideas
3. Take 1 or 2 ideas and start putting the items together and dabble with patterns
4. Final design - A 10" x 15" sheet filled with a pattern
5. Mount on mat board and present to class for critique

My design: (My thumbnails won't be shown here because really they are horrible.)
I came up with two designs I really loved, but in the end I am only turning in the second.
